Jewel Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Delap needs to choose his next club very carefully. If he goes somewhere like Manure or Chelsea, that could ruin his career beyond repair. He should understand that someone like Eddie will make him the very best that he can be. He also gets to play alongside and learn from one of the very best in Alexander Isak. It's a no-brainer if I was him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Semenyo is a lot more than a run merchant, he’s a really good player but probably not good business at this stage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 If we can sign one Tonali Isak out of the blue style player of the highest calibre who would you want it to be? For me it would be Arda Guler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of effort and good physicality though. He has very good feet / good skill / scores goals / strong / great attitude Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I think Delap is class. Didn’t like him flopping at the weekend, needs to drop that from his game but he’s a very well rounded centre forward. No idea how we’d use him though so not that desperate to sign him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 8 minutes ago, gbandit said: No idea how we’d use him though so not that desperate to sign him In games like yesterday where we have loads of the ball. Don't really need that extra CM, then you can have Delap occupying CBs/runs, with Isak playing off him in more space / finding the ball, with us knowing there's still an option in the box. Going to find more games as we move forward where we are giving more of the ball, so there's going to be many times we need to change approach. What let us down it felt last season being rigid to the 4-3-3, than when we tried something in a 4-2-3-1 with Gordon it didn't work. Having a fast CB who can sweep up counters is essential part of this too. Wilson / Isak worked well as an option previously, not had that possibility all season due to Wilson falling off a cliff edge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerful, energetic, as you said - great attitude, reads the game well and hits the ball hard. Looks like what I imagine a good German striker would look like Good fit for Villa I reckon. Apart from Isak we lack finesse in the final 3rd. Don’t think Delap would solve that on his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis H Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Got to bear in mind that any signing will be pre-Howe in terms of their development. Delap isn’t the finished article but he’s playing in a team that got relegated in November. We won’t know how good he really is until he’s been here a year.

Menace Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Delap would easily become a 25+ a season striker under Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
